Grace VanderWaal from the countryside of Suffern, USA, completely conquered the four judges and the audience of this year’s American Got Talent show after performing the song I don’t know my name, written by herself, about myself. Grace’s performance received the golden ticket to go straight to the semi-finals amid cheers from the audience.
Famous judge Simon Cowell, who is usually sparing in his praise for the contestants, had to exclaim: “This will be the second Taylor Swift.” Meanwhile, TV star Howie Mandel, 60, expressed his emotion for the 12-year-old talent: “What a beautiful and magical voice. The world needs to know your name after tonight.”
Grace admitted that this was her first time singing in front of a crowd. Even Grace’s friends didn’t know she could sing. When judge Simon asked Grace if she thought she could win this round, she just said she hoped a miracle would appear.
